Mr Noob 149 Posted June 12, 2020 Intel 10th Gen Core i9-10900K From now you will not be able to use the new CPUs in older motherboards. For now, you'll need to invest in a Z490 motherboard but you can still you the older coller system are still the same. As well as more performance, clock speeds are increased across the board too, peaking at 5.3GHz across two cores with the Core i9-10900K. However, there was admittedly a bit of trouble hitting this frequency regularly thanks to some teething problems - the CPU did reach it, but only on very rare occasions and even having a simple monitoring software open in the background could affect it. Launch Price: The launch price of the Core i9-10900K is the same as the Core i9-9900K at just under $500. Overclocking: Both Intel 10th Gen CPUs hit 5.1GHz on all cores quite easily, however, while I could boot and run most tests at 5.2GHz, the Blender benchmark saw stability issues so I decided to leave things at 5.1GHz. I have to say that temperatures were much lower than I expected too, with 5.1GHz on the Core i9-10900K easily tamable.
